Newcastle United fans are fearful after hearing that five of their best players are now considering leaving, following the departure of Rafael Benitez.

The Sun claims that Martin Dubravka, Federico Fernandez, Fabian Schar, Isaac Hayden and Ayoze Perez are all open to leaving the Magpies this summer.

Perez and Hayden’s futures were already in doubt, even with Benitez in charge.

However, the news that Dubravka, Fernandez and Schar are now considering leaving has rocked Newcastle supporters.

And many fans say that they cannot even blame their key players for wanting out.

Benitez’s departure from Newcastle is a huge blow to the Tynesiders before the season starts.

Whoever takes over has a very tough job on his hands, as the feeling of discontent is only rising around St. James’ Park.

It is not yet clear who Newcastle have made their first choice to replace Benitez, with multiple names linked to the job.
